e all right so we have the results of the test vote that took place in the senate on pete hegseth. this is to break the filibuster and sandra it could be 51 votes to break it he may not get all those votes and final confirmation because some senators may say let's let the process proceed imago differently we've seen that in the past. >> sandra: we'll keep watching thank you for joining a same sandra smith. >> john: i'm john roberts we'll see you again tomorrow. the story with martha begins

now. >> martha: all right we have a lot of breaking news this afternoon, i'm martha maccallum and this is the story. breaking right now the senate voting to advance pete hegseth's nomination for defence secretary. a couple of steps that are in between on this as you just heard john roberts mention its a test vote. we had a word that senator murkowski of alaska we'll be a nobody of course it would take at least three no votes which it doesn't sound like they have in order to even need j.d. vance as vice president tie-breaking vote bear but it doesn't sound like it will be necessary a this point he is clear the hurdle that is the main hurdle before this vote for secretary of defense. i should also mention we are waiting for the swearing in of john radcliffe.

thanks are moving a bit faster today as we see movement on t this. we expect to see a swearing and as sort -- cia director as you remember he of course was rector of national intelligence in the first from presidency and will have an intelligence role as head of cia in this presidency we will wait for the swearing in. executive order coming from the white house a lot to watch this afternoon let's check in with her senior national correspondent reporting live from capitol hill on all of t this. >> hey, martha this is a big deal for the secretary of state nominee because it may mean he has 51 votes that he needs for final confirmation without the help of vice president j.d. vance that's because o'connell came forward and voted yes today on overcoming the filibuster to get to the final confirmation. two senators that we expected to vote no voted that was

susan collins and lisa murkowski both put out lengthy statements on next. susan collins a few moments ago and they both point to a couple different things. they both say they don't believe pete hegseth is prepared to manage such an enormous size department like the pentagon and also pointing to the past allegations of infidelity and they just don't feel comfortable saying he is just not ready for that role. that's the two senators that are out. mitch mcconnell is in as are all the other senators in the conference. roger wicker had told me right before this vote, asked him do you think you still have the 50 that was when lisa murkowski came out she was unknown and he said yes pierce so they walked into the room feeling confident they had with the votes for quite some time and they knew they had them at wood not need

j.d. vance to come in. what happens next is a lot of weeding. is a waiting game because democrats will jam it out again and evoke the 30 hour debate role and we will see final confirmation vote on pete hegseth until late friday night probably. martha. >> martha: all right thank you aisha. on capitol hill a lot going on there and meanwhile in other parts of the country it is like night and day. dramatic change of course a literally two days into the trump 2.0 presidency fox news embedded with ice and boston witnessed first-hand the apprehension of scores of migrant violent offenders many of whom had been picked up by the police for these criminal defenses and who are then released due to sanctuary rules. these are just part of hundreds

of arrests that are going on across the country right now as they target the worst first. watch this. >> targeting some extremely violent offenders today. >> we are targeting very violent threats to our community. >> martha: this is part of pete's right along the presidents homeland security advisor stephen miller telling jesse waters last night that what we are witnessing is just the beginning. >> in the coming days you're going to see a massive scale up enforcement activities all across the country to dismantle these criminal networks. not only will it be ice engaging but also they will have support from law enforcement partners and fbi, atf, dea and u.s. marshals. we'll leverage the full power of federal law enforcement. >> martha: correspondent bill belushi and reporting live from washington. that was some of his clips from his right along. hello bill. >> reporter: hey, martha. centre-right policies here in

boston can make isis -- the drop of ice more difficult or dangerous. -- job. there are many dangerous criminal aliens in the boston area and we got to join ice yesterday as they went out on the streets and started trying to take some criminals out of the area. take a look. >> good morning everyone. >> reporter: it's a frigid 5 degrees in the predawn hours just outside boston where this team of elite i.c.e. officers his briefing on their targets of the day. >> will be targeting extremely violent offenders today. >> reporter: within moments they are on the move with eyes in their first target. >> looks like we've got a moving target vehicle coming up. >> they quickly take him into custody he is in ms-13 gang member wanted in el salvador for egg evaded murder and he hasn't interpol red notice out for his arrest. >> we are targeting very violent threats to our community.

>> one of those threats is this illegal alien from haiti. ice says he is a gang member with 17 criminal convictions in recent years. >> fighting forever dog peer everything he said to me talk. >> reporter: ice boston quickly takes down its next targets including this illegal alien from brazil who hasn't interpol red notice for armed robbery for this salvadoran illegal alien charged locally with the and released by century jurisdiction. and this dominican illegal alien charged with assault with a deadly weapon and heroin trafficking. officers also arrested this guatemalan ms-13 gang member facing gun charges ice says he was released from local custody the day before they detain her request was ignored because the sanctuary policy. and the sign of shifting priorities with the new trump administration, this man was in the same apartment and was also

arrested after ice determined he was also in the u.s. illegally. this is what ice calls collateral. >> you guys ago immune target but you got someone else. what just happen we. >> our main target was released by century jurisdictions. that person was released back into his community and he was with somebody else will we went to found -- find him and he's going to go today to. >> reporter: that's exactly what borders are calm holman ward would happen. >> would be find the bad guy he's probably with others that are in the united states illegally. they met -- may not be a criminal priority but were not walking away from them. >> reporter: they say they will continue going to sanctuary jurisdictions and do their job. >> today was a good day. today we took several significant public safety threats out of our communities. unfortunately a lot were released by century policies but we are here to tell the commonwealth and the country

that we are going to find them whether they are released or n not. >> reporter: and martha it didn't stop there. after it was over ice boston told us they picked up two more targets here in the boston area one of which previously deported honduran illegal alien now charged with a woman while putting a gun in her mouth. the other a haitian man who flew into the country under president biden's controversial migrant flights program now charged with sexual assault. >> martha: extraordinary. incredible coverage though at a really great window into what's going on for just a quick question bill did the mayor are governor of massachusetts who've said in the past they would not allow ice to do this kind of work have they complained about any of this? >> reporter: they haven't and the governor of massachusetts actually started softening her tone yesterday coming out and saying she is not going to get in the way of federal law enforcement are immigration enforcement. is a little different from what she said before.

>> it sure as i don't think anyone will miss these folks who have been accused and convicted of some hidden scribes. they were in the country illegally to begin with. phil, thank you. thank you very much. let's put up on the wall to show our panel as we go to them some of the migrant arrests we've seen so far just to give you a feel for this. and alleged ms-13 gang member someone arrested for child sex crime conviction aggravated sexual abuse of a child tax second degree assault of a child. these are some of the other gems who have now been asked and it will be leaving the country. we want to bring in a former i.c.e. agent who survived a cartel ambush that killed his partner in mexico in 2011. he has served in this capacity and has a lot of experience. and a fox news contributor katie and jose former press secretary

now media director for latino wall street welcome to all of you. win you watch that victor i'll start with you, what goes through your mind as you see your former fellow ice members doing their job. >> it brings a smile to my face i'll tell you that first. win i go back i think they always wanted to do this, divide in administration wasn't allowing them they had them handcuff to their desks so that's why you're going to see this activity and by the way if you notice the individuals they are targeted individuals with packets. we have a packet with information on them we know where there had they just hadn't been able to go get them because they weren't allowed to. so you will see this is just the beginning and these task forces will be made up of a lot of federal agencies we heard

already from homeland security investigations and special agents will join them there will be a surge if you will across the country with these types of operations where the numbers of illegals will be picked up and removed. >> martha: yeah, there are 1.4 million people believe who already have deportation orders. that's why this is easy, it's not easy but obviously they take a dangerous position going to apprehend them but as you say victor they already know where they are and what the charges are against them and they know they committed the first crime by entering the country in illegally. i want to play this, it's a montage of some of the former vice president and president talking about this issue. watch. >> the president has said he wants to get work done and they keep getting in the way. house republicans keep getting in the way. >> trump on the other hand has been talking a big game about

securing our border but he does not walk the walk. >> obviously jose congress has not changed anything at this point. what's happening right now are the powers that the president has. >> off goes through your mind win you watch those voices and you see what's happening? >> look martha we are on day three here release of three or four days so we're looking at 300 to 500 daily ice reads over the -- those of the same numbers biden was doing on a daily and turning 24 so nothing has changed really but i'll tell you this it survived partisan issue. if you belong to ms-13 we want you deported and out of our country. >> jose you cannot possibly say with a straight face that nothing has changed. you just are one of those people they apprehended. >> martha look at the numbers.

it's been the same amount of deportations okay since 2024. that make it bigger it might escalate and i'm happy for that pair if you're a criminal and looking at the worst first if you're a criminal and you committed a crime in this country we want you out of the country. the real challenge here is what are we going to do with the other nine or 10 million undocumented immigrants who don't have a new crime. that's the real issue and the challenge i think president travis when you face but i'm happy to see that things like immigration bill that was just passed in the house and the lake and highly act got passed in the senate bipartisanship. i think democrats understand the election was very clear -- laken riley -- americans want more security and the economy improved. >> martha: people in these neighborhoods are feeling safer to me. katie, respond to the suggestion

from jose that nothing has changed. >> everything has changed democrats have tried to change their attitude on this but it should not be lost on anybody that democrats at the federal level including former president biden who said these types of criminals using arrested today over the course of the past couple days by i.c.e. agents who been begging to go out and doing these dangerous jobs he said there are the best of our society. democrats haven't made any distinguishing between what types of illegal aliens until now and they've been harboring these people for years inside of their unities as they had a record in their home country and brought it to communities in the united states then carried out heinous crimes against american citizens. now that there are consequences they are going to prosecute democrats who continue to harvard these aliens inside cities. they are all the sudden change

in their tomb but make no mistake democrats invited this, local officials allowed and harbored them there a number of them still not doing it and the federal government let and millions more to harm americans and the jumping administration is changing that today. >> martha: all right thank you guys, thank you all. i think it tells you so much that the mayor of boston and the governor of massachusetts are not getting in the way of this at all. after they said they would be standing between ice and individuals they wanted to remove. victor, katie, jose thank you all for being here today. so president trump at any moment now is expected to signed another executive order from the white house. remember there are 200 on the list we have no details yet on what this one is going to be about. we saw a very big order come down yesterday during this program so we will bring you

david. >> reporter: high martha good afternoon pair its a marathon not a sprint for the white house and the doj. the trump administration whatever you want to call it in all those agencies know that. clearly it was a loss in round one for the trump white house and justice department after this judge called the executive order blatantly unconstitutional. washington state hearing was in -- today. it's asking for the executive order redefining birthright citizenship. they hearing was quick, 30 minutes. >> this is step one we have a long way to go. you are an american if you were born in the united states. >> reporter: earlier today house republicans announced an end to birthrate citizenship. will see you have the house of representatives. right now is a lost boots along the vesnina. >> were to reuters is saying

david is -- thank you. fascinating this morning watching all of this play out as president trump told world business leaders that america will always come first and he also said come make your stuff here and if you make your stuff in america will you a great deal. if we buy it from you you will have the tariff. mr. wonderful kevin o'leary joins me with his the interview trump win we come back. is david. i've been a pharmacist for 44 years and i'm from flowery branch, georgia. when i have customers come in i recommend prevagen. number one, because it's safe and effective. does not require a prescription. and i've been taking it quite a while myself and i know it works. and i love it when the customers come back in and tell me, "david, that really works so good for me." makes my day.

all right there is a lot of stuff we want to get to about earlier today president trump said his historic victory launched a revolution of common sense. is a thing we've heard since the inaugural speech he was speaking remotely to the world economic foreign end although switzerland and during this interesting set of commons in the past he has gone to davos he said he couldn't go because he was inaugurated two days ago but he spoke to them got an interesting response, a warm response in general from the crowd. but he had a warning for companies around the globe. watch this. >> president donald trump: my message to every business in the world is simple, i make your product in america and will give you among the lowest taxes of

any nation on earth for were bringing them down significantly but you don't make your than simply you will have to pay a tariff spin and let's begin kevin o'leary shark tank investor good to have you with us today a a lot to ask you about and there are also some thanks are the sister of the u.s. manufacturing and what companies can expect if they don't we get here. >> the key to translating trump language is to understand noise and signals p what he is basically saying there is -- and these messages are for different countries for example mexico we are going to build a wall but we

also want you to make sure you stop sending illegal immigrants from yours and other countries but or you will be tariffs. to the canadians, start spending on security at the northern border and pay your two% to nato and stop sending fentanyl from china over the border or you're going to face tariffs that's the signal there appear to the germans, if you don't start making workers then america we are going to tariff do you know what occurs on. the tariff signal is a news she leveraged tool because trump commends the largest market on earth. there is no market larger than the united states. for china it's a cool -- whole different kettle of fish. were in an economical war with china and that will be the most interesting combination. whether it's a combination of tariffs are threat of military control, all kinds there but he is starting with a message

that's very clear. get in line, do what you said you will do or you will face a wicked barrier to come into the world's largest market and it's going to affect your economy. i heard it loud and clear. >> martha: it's interesting because at one point -- jamie dimon also responding and pushing back on a little bit what did you think of that? >> we've been listening to trump for 12 years. is just the way he is. if you don't understand that at this point he is not going to change. he will pick something -- someone out of a crowd or sector and he will citizen be like that. he is trying to send a signal yet there's a lot of noise but it doesn't bother me anymore and for and i've seen that same kind narrative for it is what it is

everybody relax steamy red pure he gets everybody on their toes as well. i thought the response was interesting today there thank you kevin we will talk more and next time about tiktok and the future there. >> thank you. >> martha: there is a lot of news popping this afternoon so stick around and i'll tell you what's going on after the break. in the meantime, this debate is heating up injecting her own politics and nation supposed to be a new. >> and save using god to preach our message of she used it to practice what i call the illogical and spiritual malpractice.

the water for about 15 seconds each loading up then flew round after round over the new flames before eventually dousing them. we've also seen hotshot cruise on the ridge tamping down hot spots and hoping they can keep the flames from once again threatening the thousands of homes they did yesterday. we also had one other fire pop-up overnight that was near the famed getty center and also threatened a lot of homes in the nearby area. it's a constant area for these firefighters and these wins are getting severe costs of once again now are due to continue like this until around 10:00 a.m. local witches and 1:00 pacific time tomorrow afternoon so that's really going to be a long battle for the

thousands of firefighters on the front lines who are absolutely exhausted after more than two long weeks of this constant battle. >> these fires move quickly with these wins like that. this one picked up and grew exponentially over a couple of hours. it's a stunning development. thank you very much jonathan hunt for keeping us up to speed. we will take you back to california as we learn more. as i mention moments ago president drop has just spoken with reporters at the white house. we are getting a news conference every day if not twice a day at this point so a lot for these reporters to adjust to almost no news conferences from the former president peter so from russia and ukraine to iran and china, he is making very big statements in regard to his approach to these adversaries and countries
